Las exposiciones científicas escolares y su contribución en el ámbito afectivo de los alumnos participantes

Abstract

In this paper, the influence of «The Amusing Science» on the students' attitudes is evaluated. This innovative experience includes the design, construction and assembly of a scientific interactive exposition made up by students and teachers. The results show high rates of students' implication and motivation and a positive influence in their self-steem and personal development. They also suggest an improvement of the interpersonal relationships among students and among students and teachers, as well as of the students' satisfaction to the experience and to Science. The improved interpersonal relationships were translated into science classroom without stating the positive attitudes.
